title: Quantification of subsurface damage in a brittle insulating ceramic by three-dimensional focused ion beam tomography.
abstract: In this study, we present a fully automated method to investigate and reconstruct the three-dimensional crack structure beneath an indent in a highly insulating material. This work concentrates on issues arising from a long automatic acquisition process, the insulating nature of the specimen, and the introduction of minimal damage to the original cracks resulting from indentation.
